In the sixth in a series of posts with relative geographic TV market ratings information from the helpful folks at Rentrak, we’ve got a map of the relative TV ratings in 200 markets for NBC’s top rated show The Voice.

Not surprisingly (at least to me), the city by city relative ratings pattern for The Voice, looks an awful lot like that of American Idol with the addition of a scattering of high indexing markets in the Upper Plains and the Rockies.

To the commenter on the American Idol post expecting “I bet if we were to do the same study on “The Voice” we’d find that its popularity lies moreso in larger cities and blue states.” Nope!

How to read the map: The markets are color coded based on their relative ratings Index. 100 = the US national average rating for the show. 50 = half the US national average rating for the show, 200= twice the national average rating for the show, etc. The individual markers are clickable, and I’ve included the entire set of data below for those who want to go crazy with their own analysis.

In the fifth in a series of posts with relative geographic TV market ratings information from the helpful folks at Rentrak, we’ve got a map of the relative TV ratings in 200 markets for Fox’s top rated show American Idol.

Interestingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, American Idol has almost all of its high indexing TV markets in the Eastern and Central Time zones where it airs live in the latter part of its season (although the period covered by this data had few if any live shows, perhaps over the years people who will ultimately see it live have become bigger fans). Only three cities in the two highest groupings are in non-live markets.

In the second in a series of posts with relative TV market ratings information from the helpful folks at Rentrak, we’ve got a map vs. map face off between those Monday 10pm tussling fan favorites Castle and Hawaii Five-0. You can check out a similar map with Fringe ratings here.

The heartland of America really loves both shows. The coasts? Not so much. Both shows are more heavily viewed in the middle of the country, the similar map with Fringe showed no clear geographic patter that I could see.

We’ve recently made the acquaintance of the friendly and helpful folks at Rentrak, who some readers may know as Nielsen competitors in the TV viewing measurement business.

There may be different ratings information we get from them going forward, but one thing we can get, and that I thought might be interesting is to look at are the relative ratings for different TV shows in different TV markets.

The first show I asked for geographic ratings for was Fringe, a TVBTN reader favorite (and anti-favorite).

Looking at the data, I’m not sure if any trends can be teased out (Packers fans are Fringe fans?). Perhaps readers more insightful than I am can figure something out. Enjoy, and depending on how much traffic this post generates, I may do it again.
